nitrofurantoin during 14 weeks pregnant?
I was prescribed this at 5 and 9 weeks for uti. The doctor chose it because it’s safe in early pregnancy and because I react to penicillin. From what I read, it’s not safe to take in the last trimester. But to set your mind completely at ease, have a chat with your pharmacist as they know vastly more about the medicines than GPs do
This website was recommended by someone recently too. Haven’t looked at it myself yet, but saved it for future reference: medicinesinpregnancy.org/
Hello I’m 14 weeks pregnant now and my doctor says I have a uti too and prescribed me this exact antibiotic too, Nitrofurantoin 2x a day every 12 hrs. I’m curious to know if you ended up taking it and if you did, what were the effects on your baby? Was you baby born good/healthy? Did it get rid of the infection? What were your side effects on this pill? I’m really scared because of what can happen to my baby. My doctor says it’s safe and he warned me of what can happen if I don’t take the medicine so now I feel like I should take it. But I would love to know what were the outcomes for you. I know this post is old but hopefully you’ll have the chance to respond. Thank you.
